"The attempt TO destroy the Union OF these
states we believe to be crime, not only
against Kentucky but against all mankind"
SO declared the loyal legislature OF Ken
lucky in the autumn of 1861. At the same
time n bill was passed calling out 10000
Union volunteers
In the southern part Of the state, however,
there was strong secession sentiment, and
early In September, 1861, Bishop Leonidas
Polk had occupied Columbus, KY, with q
considerable Confederate force
Finally It was resolved by the Confederates
to make a bold dash for tho fertile and
famous Blue Grass region of Kentucky. Its
beeves and fast horses, its wheat, corn and
susar cured hams were suggestion of land
flowing with milk and honey to the appetite
of the southern army boys. Confederate
soldiers were never over fed. Perhaps that
was one reason why they were such good
fighters

Suth we're the two leaders who were to try
against each other, not only their racing powers,
but their strategic and fighting ability.
Bragg entered Kentucky Sept with over

start of Buell..
This September, while the famous county
fairs take place at Richmond, Lexington,
Cynthinna and Paris, with their display OF
fleet horses, shining Jerseys aud short horned
cattle and beautiful women, some gray
boards doubtless remember that twenty-five
years ago, this month, there were very few
county fairs In tue magnificent Blue Grass
region. They were broken up by the tramp
OF armies, the hiss OF bursting shells and the
thunderous sound of artillery.
IL was Buelrs concentration of his army at
Murfreesboro that gave Bragg free scope to
start where he would uumolested.

Tell my wife and children that my last thoughts
were of them"
Near the old camps Of the Union troops,
two miles north from the scene Of the first en-
gagement Manson made another stand Hero
was some hard fighting, but again the Con-
fcGerates were victorious. AT this time Gen.
Nelson arrived, took command and arranged
for final stand on a slight elevation near tho
cemetery In front Of Richmond. Here the
Federal raw recruits, decimated TO about q 600
men, made their tliri and last rally against
an enemy vastly superior in numbers and dis
cipline The Confederate line was twice re
pulsed Immediately 70 the right of the ceme-
terry, but the Union line was finally broken
ana hanked and the day was hopelessly lost.
Gen Nelson was twice wounded in this action.
Gen. Mallso.l was captured.
In the battle of Richmond there were l., 900
Confederate troops and thirty-six pieces Of
artillery. The Union forces consisted of
about 700 men. The Confederates lost over
800 in killed and wounded. The Union troops
lost SIS Besides that, 1000 of them were

BATTLE OF RICHMOND.

Gen. NJ. d. Manson was near Richmond,
Ky, with small force, which had been con-
siderably increased through the patriotic ex-
ertions of Gen. lew Wallace, of Indiana
The appearance Of Kirby Smith before
Richmond carried CONSERVATION into the
heart Of Kentucky. Frankfort, the capital
was only fifty miles distant. " 18th the legis
lnture in session, that bo,'y hastily adjourned
TO Louisville. The state records were also re
moved thither, with a million dollars OF
money from the banks in this region.
Gen. Mansons troops had been attacked by
Kirby Smiths advance at Big Hill Aug.
%, and retreated to Richmond. Here
Manson was REINFORCED by number Of
newly organized regiments from Ohio, Ken
lucky aud Indiana. This was just after
President Lincoln's call for 100000 more"
and the north was filed with the camps
Of the fresh volunteers. The new regiments
under Manson hardly new how to form
line of battle, and were ignorant Of the first
principles Of field evolutions. The officers
we're. for the main part, as green as the men.
These raw, Impractical troops were to meet
on the field ut Richmond the Confederate
veterans of Shiloh, and other fields under
such leaders as Kirby Smith and Gen. Pat
Cleburne.
Aug. 20, Kirby Smith came on and offered
battle. Manson advanced to meet him and
drove him back to Rogeisville, two miles
from Richmond. Here Manson encampcd for
the night. What is called the battle OF Rich
mend took place next day, Aug. So
The fighting began anew on the morning
OF this day. Manson and Orig. Gen. Cruft,
VINO had distinguished himself at DonelsoH,
vdvancedt to meet the Confederate attack
After heavy fighting one mile south of
uogersville, the Union troops were routed
with heavy loss. In the action the lieuten-
ant colonel and major of the Seventy first
